WIND UP ROBOTS (Soma Games): Game will be available on the App Store Dec. 15th!

Reindeer gets my vote, but I'd also like to nominate if possible:

Snowman

Yup, I'd love to see a white carrot-nosed robot

 

Thanks! We will know more after we submit to Apple today. It takes 6 + days for approval and then we will set the release date. In other words asap.

I think it is going to be the Reindeer. I suggested a snowman too.

Thanks!

Looks like we are getting plenty of feedback here. Thanks for the offer!
and it looks like hapaninja is busy now drafting up the Rudolph the red nosed Robot for the submission to Apple.

 

Like you said above, reindeer! but i think if you made a snowman i'd pick that

 

Cool. If you and I don't get our snowman we at least will get snow in the outdoor stages (2 of them) and snow falling outside the windows of the indoor game stages. I just got a peak at wat the artists are finishing up and it is really cool.

 

I like the reindeer ones, its unique!
XMAS is usually with Santa and snow, the reindeer gets left out
I'm also looking forward to the release, will this game be universal?

EDIT:
just saw the finished icon: NICE!!!
I luv it when the robot partially stands out of the usual square

 

Thanks! Yeah we are very happy how the icon came out.

Here is the final Christmas outfit. It will be available as a whole or as combination with other costumes available for all the robots.

Thanks for all the great input.

​

 

I forgot to answer this but yes we are releasing it as universal.



EDIT
The game will be a paid app due to strategic changes. All contest runner ups (you know who you are) will receive promo codes.

Oh dear lord you ROCK!
More contests are coming soon as well I bet, I love TA!
Come on apple APPROVE IT!

BTW
I made your icon my new cool unique Lockscreen Green laser (loooong range ) is very appealing to the eyes.

 

I know this is a site dedicated to iOS builds but I thought we'd put in here that we've been big fans of the multi-platform model for a long time.
To that end, Wind Up Robots was built using Unity3D and we've now submitted it to several additional stores including Amazon Kindle Fire, Intel AppUp, Android marketplace and (later today) the Apple MAC store.
We're really diving into this wide launch approach and see what happens.

Seems like a foregone conclusion that iOS will be the lions share of interest and sales so this is partly an experiment...but what do you folks think? Do you think that kind of thing is worth the effort or a waste of time?

 

New Poll

We have just added a new poll asking what device you plan to play Wind Up Robots on. We would love to find out what the dominant device will be. The game is still in review. We hope to have news on a release soon.

iPhone (for now)

But I love that it's universal, for any future devices

I cannot vote again apparently since I voted on the icon..

Come on Apple, review it quicker!

 

Thanks for trying.

 

Hope you guys have success on iOS. Seems like a lot of quality releases are failing to sell these days even though they are dirt cheap.

'drowning in a sea of apps' may be the problem. Or the app store mentality of waiting for everything to go free may be spreading.

 

The Game is in review!

Will you release it as soon as it will be approved or there will be a fixed date?

 

It all depends on when it is approved.

In the meantime we just finished up the official game trailer. Enjoy:

Game approved and release date is announced!

We have received word that Apple has approved WUR and the game release date is this coming Thursday December 15th!
